Services.

A
So
in
the
past
you
know,
with
regards
to
these
numbers:
I
mean
the
minority
participation
numbers,
don't
change
with
this
new
policy,
but
the
female
numbers
change
from
six
percent
to
twenty
percent
and
no
I
understand
I
mean
there's
something
you
said
about.
You
know
making
something
policy
and
there's
nothing,
there's
another
part
of
it,
which
is
how
do
we
get
there
from
the
six
to
twenty
percent?
Because
that's
that's
a
pretty
big
job.
D
Yeah,
thank
you.
Mr.
thank
you
for
the
time
for
the
question
and
I
certainly
recognized
that
you
can.
You
can
set
a
goal
and
you
have
to
have
something
behind
it
for
it
to
mean
anything.
One
of
the
things
that
I
had
prepared
to
prepare
to
discuss
today
was
some
background
about
the
goals
that
have
been
in
place
when
they
were
issued
and
the
goals
that
are
currently
in
place.
Weren't
have
been
in
place
since
2012.
D
The
goals
were
really
at
that
time
left
the
same
for
females,
so
that
would
goal
in
2012,
I
think
reflected
a
previous
goal
set
by
the
department
in
2007
at
6%,
and
so
the
increase
at
that
time
was
an
increase
from
an
11%
minority
participation
goal
the
32%
and
we
did
see
a
big
change.
I
think
the
numbers
today,
as
I'm
about
to
present
are
some
of
the
best
that
we've
ever
seen
since
we've
been
tracking
and
I.
D
Think
that
the
numbers
today,
what
the
Department
of
Human
Rights
recognized
in
its
report
in
its
recommendation,
who
increased
the
goals,
was
that
the
goals
matter,
what
we're
working
towards
matters
and
the
success
that
we've
had
increasing
minority
participation,
is
a
reflection
and
part
of
the
goals
and
having
a
having
a
direction
that
we
want
the
industry
to
move
towards,
and
that's
why
we
are
in
part,
recommending
a
twenty
to
twenty
percent
female
workforce
goal.
Today.
Okay,.
D
Correct
in
July
Thank
You
mr.
chair
council,
member
Gordon,
that's
correct
in
July
the
Minnesota
Department
Human
Rights
as
a
follow-up
to
some
meetings
that
have
been
held
in
which
the
city
participated.
First,
half
of
this
year
later
portion
of
last
year
issued
a
report
and
in
that
report
it
had
minority
participation
goal
effectively
staying
the
same
at
32%
and
then
the
participation
goal
for
females
in
this
in
the
two
County
area,
going
from
6%
to
20%.
E
E
We
haven't
actually
got
there
yet,
but
I
think
it's
helped
motivate
us
in
the
region
and
the
state
to
work
harder
and
to
come
up
with
new
strategies
and
new
methods
to
get
there,
which,
I
think
is
the
maybe
one
of
the
the
questions
the
chair
has.
What's
our
action
plan,
we
are
really
going
to
need
to
have
some
some
ideas
and
some
strategies
probably
to
push
us
faster
to
accomplish
our
goals,
because
we
want
them
to
be
not
just
aspirational
targets
to
dream
about,
but
actually
numbers
to
hit
in
our
lifetime.
D
Absolutely
and
mr.
chair
Thank,
You,
councilmember
guard
and
I
just
say
we
are.
This
is
not
the
only
thing
we're
doing
we're
continuing
to
take
additional
action
and
considering
new
ordinances
and
what
that
language
will
look
like
to
try
and
get
us
towards
the
numbers
that
we
are
holding
out
his
goals
in.
A
Councilmember
Gordon,
thank
you
for
clarifying
my
intent
and
asking
the
questions.
It
wasn't
that
I
was
against
that.
It
was
more
so
just
kind
of
clarifying
just
because
I
think
a
lot
of
times.
You
know
we
set
goals,
but
it's
hard
to
get
there
or
we
don't
have
a
plan
how
to
get
there.
But
I
appreciate
your
answer.
Mr.
Skippy
and
so
I
will
move
item
number
six,
which
was
a
consent
item
for
approval,
I'm,
any
discussion
all
right,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed.
A
D
So
for
the
first
slide
here
you
see
the
divisions,
q2
outcomes
for
the
city's
small
and
underutilized
business
program,
which
of
course,
is
the
city's
primary
minority
and
women
business
inclusion
mechanism
through
the
second
quarter
of
this
year.
The
division
is
reviewed,
91
contracts
for
SUV,
P
program
goal,
setting
goals
have
been
set
on
48
of
these
contracts
and
through
these,
through
the
second
quarter,
the
division
has
completed
28
pre-award
reviews.
D
The
division
also
processes
applications
for
certification
in
its
role
as
a
certifying
member
agency
with
the
Minnesota
unified
certification
program
through
the
second
quarter
of
2017,
the
division
is
certified.
Twelve
new
firms
for
the
year
there
are
now
a
total
of
560
certified
firms
in
the
city's
marketplace,
including
128,
based
within
city
limits.
D
On
the
next
slide
here,
you
see
a
comparison
of
the
participation
that
the
division
is
reported
and
closed
projects
since
2014.
Through
the
second
quarter,
there
was
7%
participation
for
MBE
firms
and
6%
participation
for
WBE
certified
firms.
These
numbers
come
from
the
12
contracts
that
had
s
EBP
goals
that
the
division
closed
during
the
second
quarter.
Those
contracts
total
about
81
million
dollars
so
doing
the
math
there's
about
5.7
million
dollars
that
went
to
MBE
firms,
the
4.7
that
went
to
WB
news.
D
So
to
go
back
to
workforce
inclusion,
and
we
talked
about
that
a
little
bit
but
moving
forward
from
the
SUV
P
program,
I
want
to
shift
gears
and
talk
about
workforce
inclusion.
Again,
as
you
all
probably
know,
we
already
talked
about
city
follows
the
goals
for
at
least
through
q2
of
32
percent
in
6%,
32
percent,
minority
participation,
six
percent,
female
division,
division
monitors,
workforce
participation
on
these
projects
based
off
of
data
submitted
and
certified
payroll
reports,
which
are,
of
course
required
for
prevailing
wages.
D
D
Into
the
city's
small
and
underutilized
business
and
workforce
programs,
the
division
also
monitors
compliance
with
the
formative
actions
section
three
prevailing
wage
requirements
through
the
second
quarter
of
2017.
The
city
has
approved
affirmative
action
plans
for
77
contractors,
received
one
section:
three
resident
application
and
recovered
1308
dollars
and
under
paid
prevailing
wages.
D
And
that
concludes
the
presentation
of
data
for
this
report.
There
is
more
data
in
the
linked
report.
If
you
have
more
questions,
I'm
happy
to
entertain
those
otherwise
very
quickly,
I
would
like
to
say
Thank
You
mr.
chair
and
the
City
Council,
for
your
continued
support
for
the
contract,
compliance
division,
programs.

work
that
we
do.
A
